Transparent: Season 3 *Amazon Original

Let’s be real — you’ve probably started not-so-patiently counting down the days until this beautifully nuanced portrait of family and identity is back in your life. But in case you’re new to the series, Jeffrey Tambor plays Maura Pfefferman, a transgender woman who opens up to her family about her transition. Now going into its third season, we’ve already got our tissues ready for when this “comedy” inevitably makes us cry our eyes out … in a good way!

Good Will Hunting (1997)

It’s not only the movie that put Ben Affleck and Matt Damon on the map, but it’s also the one that is the perfect cure if you’re facing some back-to-school blues. Damon stars as Will Hunting, an unrecognized genius working as a janitor at MIT and Affleck stars as his best friend, but it’s the late Robin Williams who gives the powerhouse performance in this film. Avoid getting overly emotional by counting each and every one of those classic Bostonian dropped Rs.

Young Adult (2011)

Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody’s vastly underrated follow-up to Juno might feel a little too relatable to anyone struggling to bridge the gap between adolescence and adulthood. However, it’s more than worth a watch for Charlize Theron’s eyeroll alone.

The Witch (2015)

It’s the horror movie heard ‘round the world. Remember when this was being hyped up seemingly nonstop a few months ago ? Yeah, the hype is justified. The Witch, about a 1630s New England family torn apart by the supernatural, has the kind of unsettling slow-build horror that will stick with you. Also, there’s a goat named Black Phillip who will definitely be a fixture in your nightmares for a little while.
